Don’t go round in white face!
The item is part of a broader menu strategy from the fried chicken chain, which is owned by Restaurant Brands International, to more regularly use desserts to attract customers. The only permanent dessert on its menu is the cinnamon apple pie, but Popeyes also sells limited-time dessert offerings, which are sometimes only available regionally.
Starting Monday, the beignets, which are a deep-fried pastry that Popeyes stuffed with Hershey’s chocolate, are available for a limited time in three-, six- and 12-packs. The dessert is a famous staple of New Orleans, where Popeyes was founded, although the chain now is headquartered in Miami.
Popeyes tested the new item in October in Boston and a few other Northeastern markets to “particularly strong” reviews from customers, according to Sami Siddiqui, Popeyes’ president of the Americas.
But he said it’s unlikely to surpass the success of its chicken sandwich, which was added to menus nationwide more than a year ago. Popeyes has reported double-digit same-store sales growth every quarter since the sandwich’s launch, even during the coronavirus pandemic.
My situational awareness is always set to max when I visit Popeyes....
Will Popeye’s fry them in Olive Oyl?
I live in Florida, so hopefully they’ll have it and I can try it. I love their red beans and rice. Although they’ve gotten less caloric, unfortunately...it used to have butter on it.
I say if you’re going to do it, go whole hog! Just don’t eat it every day and you’ll be fine.
It's the front of my shirt I have trouble cleaning right away.
You’re missing out. Their chicken sandwhich is the best hands down.
The one, we used to go to (15 miles away), the drive through window had a line curving all around the good size strip mall. Of course the Covid crap has stopped us going there as you can’t go into their store now. It is on via the drive in. That could take literally an hour.
So then, we would park about 100 yards away and enter Popeyes, line up and order and eat there and bring back the extra bounty for relatives and a few friends. While I waited in line to order and pay for it, my wife would find a table for 2, to eat our share. No way we could drive 15 miles back home and smelling that food.
There are 2 KFC’s in our city, and we never go there.
“Hits the pleasure centers and makes you feel better, if at least only for awhile.”
Bingo! We have eaten more good chocolate since the CV B$, than the previous decade or more.
“Does Popeye even have coffee?”
Do they have spinach?
JK (but there are some that ain't).
That sammich is legit.
They might have greens.
I love beeg nets!

But are they “worth killing for” like the sandwiches?
“Popeye’s it’s for the popcorn shrimp and red beans & rice. But no more than a couple of times a year - that stuff is addictive.”
We know a construction project mgr with a lot POC’s working for him and guys from the south/south west.
His company allows him the last Friday of each month to buy a 4 door pickup’s load of popcorn shrimp and red beans & rice in the backseat area for his crew. He jokes about renting an armored truck to buy the popcorn shrimp and red beans & rice.
LOL! You and everybody else! Forget TP, there’ll probably be a chocolate shortage soon.
Their cardboard chicken doesn’t sell so they’re turning to deserts.
How is that pronounced? The late Charles Kurault did a trip around the Country once, and in the segment from N’awlins he raved about something like that with morning coffee, but as I recall, what he called them did not really SOUND like it’s spelled.
Thanks.
